Yuhuang Festival is the most important festival in Shengguo.
On this day, a grand banquet will be held in the palace, and the people will be very lively.
People sang and danced, and paraded through the streets as Phoenix girls to thank Lord Huohuang for protecting and preserving the Sheng Kingdom.
Every year during the Yuhuang Festival, the people would select a Phoenix girl to parade from the city gate to the palace gate to receive awards from the emperor, to show the mutually beneficial and peaceful relationship between the emperor and the phoenix and the people.
Of course, as the most grand festival in the prosperous country, the Yuhuang Festival is also the only opportunity for unmarried men and women to see each other freely.
If there is a man and woman who look at each other during the festival, and after the two parties exchange their names, the man can invite the matchmaker to come to his door.
If both families agree, a good thing can be accomplished.
As the much-anticipated Princess Jialuo, it was naturally impossible for Leng Lanzhi not to go to the dinner party in the evening, but during the day...
Leng Lanzhi wore a simple ankle-length skirt worn by folk women, with half of her black hair hanging down behind her. She only wore a few hairpins and a red bead tassel on her simple bun, and her earrings were the simplest style of white jade beads.
Wearing a simple red dress, her waist was extremely slender, as if it could be broken with a pinch.
She is slender but not thin. Even though she is wearing a thin veil and standing on the long street where people come and go, she still attracts attention frequently.
Gu Zhan stood beside her and also put on simple folk clothes.
At Leng Lanzhi's suggestion, he put on a moon-white gown, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He had a handsome and noble face that even without the need for fancy clothes, exuded an aura of nobility that no one would dare to look at.
A slight spring breeze hung between his eyebrows, softening the edges and corners. Looking from a distance, one could only feel that this man was unparalleled and noble, with a luxurious temperament. No one would have thought that this man was actually the rumored and feared Gu Diansi.
A month ago, Leng Lanzhi accepted Gu Zhan's Diansi waist card and promised that it was a favor and that he could come to her at any time whenever he needed.
Unexpectedly, he made the request on the spot——
Ask her to accompany him to the Yuhuang Festival a month later.
He said--
"Xiaguan has never seriously participated in the Yuhuang Festival since he was a child."
"Before my mother passed away, the most regretful thing was that she didn't get to see Xiaguan get married."
"Why invite the princess? Because Xiaguan heard that the women at the Yuhuang Festival are very bold. If a girl really likes Xiaguan, but Xiaguan doesn't like her, and the other party stalks and fights, Xiaguan can't directly Kill people.”
"Therefore, I hope that the princess will accompany me. If such a situation does arise, I hope that the princess can help."
Having said this, Leng Lanzhi could only agree.
After all, compared to Dianji's waistline, his request was really not worth mentioning.
Of course, another very important reason is that Leng Lanzhi has never participated in the Yuhuang Festival as a folk woman.
As the most beloved daughter of the emperor, she had to stay by the side of her father and mother every year during the Yuhuang Festival.
Even though they agreed to Gu Zhan to accompany him, they each had responsibilities and could only come to the street during the day to feel the festival atmosphere.
The real excitement starts in the evening.
Although there are a lot of people on the street now, they are far less crowded than in previous years.
The two walked side by side on the street. The man's tall figure almost shrouded the woman in his shadow, and the annoying sunlight did not bother her at all.
Although Leng Lanzhi's appearance could not be seen through the veil, Gu Zhan's outstanding appearance frequently attracted attention. Everyone expected that the woman who could be taken care of by him must not be an ordinary person, and her appearance was so stunning. ?
Because of this concern, many women who were looking at Gu Zhan with red eyes did not have the courage to come over and exchange tokens.
"What's going on over there?"
Leng Lanzhi asked curiously when he saw a lot of people gathered in a place in front of him.
"Go over and have a look."
After the two of them walked into the crowd, they found that there were quite a few people surrounding them, at least four or five levels high.
She is considered tall among women, but standing among the crowd, she still feels like a dwarf looking at a mountain, unable to see what is going on inside.
I was having a headache how to get in, but I heard the man beside me say: "Miss, come with me."
After a pause, he added: "That's too abrupt."
Warm hands grabbed her wrist through her short sleeves, and the next moment, a broad and hot chest covered her.
His chest did not touch her body, so even though he held her wrist, Leng Lanzhi did not feel that she was being intruded upon.
He protected her and went into the crowd.
He didn't know how he did it. When Leng Lanzhi's eyesight returned to normal, he found that she had reached the front of the crowd.
She was astonished.
This skill of crowding people is so awesome!
After squeezing out of the crowd, the man let go of his hand.
There was still warmth on Leng Lanzhi's wrist, and she felt a little uncomfortable.
The few contacts she had with her husband were when Shen Yi took the medicine last time and approached her while she was unconscious.
That time she didn't have any beautiful thoughts except disgust and anger.
But now, the hot feeling was so intense that she couldn't ignore it, so she didn't immediately check out what she was interested in.
Unexpectedly, the person next to him put that hand behind his back.
In the corner where she couldn't see, he clasped his palms tightly and savored the soft residual warmth, hoping that it would dissipate slower and slower.
Leng Lanzhi was no longer the young girl who had just fallen in love, and she regained her composure after a little struggle.
She looked forward curiously and realized that this was actually a weapons shop.
The shop owner of the weapon book was holding up a dagger and talking about it: "This is a dagger made of thousand-year-old meteorite iron. The sheath is inlaid with eight sky and sea pearls. It is no exaggeration to say that it is priceless."
A man present shouted loudly: "Shopkeeper, it's a big festival. Other shops sell palace lanterns, silk flowers, and silk handkerchiefs. It's not appropriate for you to sell daggers here, right?"
Another male customer also shouted: "That's right. In other stalls, they ask the male partner to recite poems and guess riddles to get beautiful gadgets for the female partner. When I come to your place, why don't you let the male partner have a fight? , who wins and who takes away the priceless dagger you said? Then who is this dagger for? "
There was a burst of good-natured laughter from the crowd.
The middle-aged shop owner calmly shook his head: "Wrong, wrong, wrong! What's the point of asking the male partner to give the female partner something every year? I want something different."
"Oh? What's different?"
The shop owner smiled mysteriously: "I am here to let the female partner work hard for the male partner and get this priceless dagger!"
The crowd was silent for a brief moment, and soon there was even louder laughter.
Under the roar of laughter, countless male companions cast expectant glances at the female companion.
